“Two weeks after my accident I came home to police car across my drive, a car was in the bushes.

“I have always been concerned that there is a national speed limit of 60mph on the road. I cannot understand how one end is 30mph and the rest is 60mph. People treat it very much as a cut through to the M25 to hop over a junction. It was an accident waiting to happen.”

Sending their condolences to Ms Lloyd’s family, Mr and Mrs Lindon-Travers added: “We feel Surrey County Council should listen to its residents, who are the ears and eyes of much that goes on.

“Rather than waste council taxpayers’ money on unnecessary road signage — eg ‘Welcome HRA’ — instead use funds wisely to prevent unnecessary deaths, such as that of Sarah Lloyd.

“Seven Hills Road was downgraded to 40mph following a fatality. You have more chance of surviving if you are doing 40 rather than 60mph.

“No one will know but it might have helped this lady. You can do up to 60mph on this road and not be doing anything wrong.

“These roads had speed limits put on them probably more than 20 years ago but the volume of traffic is now so much they need to be reassessed.”

Cllr Lake, (Con, Weybridge) said: “Clearly there have been issues for years on Byfleet Road, we have looked at reducing speed.

“Because the road is usually so busy it is very hard to reach the maximum speed limit. I support a reduction to 40mph if we are able to do it.”

A spokesman for Surrey County Council said: “We are aware of the concerns raised by residents and will look at addressing them at the appropriate time.

“Accident statistics show that for the stretch of Byfleet Road between Brooklands Road and Seven Hills Road, not including the junctions at either end, between 1 January 2004 and 31 October 2007 there was one serious injury and 16 slight accidents resulting in one serious and 36 slight casualties.”

Tributes have been made to Sarah Jeanne Lloyd who died following a car crash on Friday December 28.

The 36-year-old single mother was cut from her blue Vauxhall Corsa by firefighters but died as a result of her injuries. Flowers mark the site of the accident and have been laid at the door of her house in Tartar Road, Cobham.

Ms Lloyd worked at Hair Associates in Esher.

In a statement, the salon said: “Her team and a large number of clients who she worked with over her 10 years with the salon will sadly miss Sarah.

“Both the salon and the Hair Associates group wish her family our heartfelt condolences.”

Tributes flooded into the News & Mail.

Lucy, Kit and the girls said: “God bless you Sarah.

“A fabulous friend and a fantastic mother. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts.
